Better Win?

I love when people say, "Corrales sucks, he lost to Clottey."

Yeah, several years, several wars, and 4 freakin' divisions later...

 

Cotto vs Corrales lol

 

Battle O' the T-Rex Arms?

 

Yup the same with Floyd "struggled with Maidana" so how would he beat Pac.

Corrales "lost" to Clottey but beats Castillo who almost beat Floyd, who beat Cotto clearly. Yeah, if they want to do that logic :roll:

 

Ok well then explain it to me. Mayweather fans always think someone is trying to descredit him. I like Mayweather more than Pacquiao. I just want to know why Corrales was such a big win.

 

Why was he p4p #4 though? Did he actually deserve to be ranked that high? Like I said, looking at it from someone who didn't grow up in that era, Corrales"s resume looks weak going into the fight. Was boxing in a weak state for someone like Corrales to be recognized as the #4 p4p?
Also, why did people consider Corrales as the kingpin of the division, when Mayweather was champion a year longer than Corrales in that division?

It seems people were just hating Floyd even back then and Corrales was just all hype (like I previously stated, we tend to over-hype punchers).
Going into the fight Floyd had more defenses of the title (5) compared to Corrales (4). He had a longer reign (1 more year than Corrales), had a better resume (even common opponents that he finished a round earlier even though Corrales was hyped as the puncher). I just don't see how Corrales is such a big win.

Like I said, I'm not trying to descredit Floyd, but when I look at his resume that Corrales win doesn't stand out to me. But fans say that's one of his best wins and I just want to understand why that is such a big win. I know you gave me a list of him being P4P #4 or 5 and him being undefeated and people saying he's the kingping, but did he actually merit those things when going into the fight Floyd seemed more accomplished?

 

Cotto was able to deliver his punches while being hurt and fatigue. The stoppage was unnecessary as well, he could have survived. Pacquiao's punch volume, stamina, chin, foot speed were impressive. But I pick up Mayweather-Corrales, that was a perfect win.

 

It was considered a great win for Floyd bc both were top up and comers who experts predicted to dominate their divisions. Corrales had good wins over gainer, manfreddy and roberto garcia. And he has been decapitating guys while remaining undefeated.

When Cotto fought Pac, he was drained and came off a bad beating from Margarito.

Tinman is obvious bias. Can't see which is the better win here.
Beating a guy in prime who never tasted defeat vs a crippled man mentally in cotto, who is ok with no mas, and drained.

again Tinman dksab.

 

a natural 140 lber beating a career welter in dominating fashion is way better. lol. and they under rate it by saying cotto was drained.hehehe

 

Catchweight. Cotto coming off a brutal beating and tooth and nail fight with Clottey. Manny suffered damage in that fight as well.

Floyd delivered a massive one sided beating that wouldn't of mattered what weight it fought.

Guess I have to show biased here and go with Floyd. If Floyd beat Cotto at a catchweight and same scenario it would not be considered a great feat at all.

In fact a lot of you fans would call it a blatant cherry pick so yeah. No doubt Floyd's win is better.
